Supporting the Families of our Fallen Heroes
About Us
The Folded Flag Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that provides educational scholarships and support grants to the spouses and children of the U.S. military and government personnel who died as a result of hostile action or in an accident related to U.S. combat operations.
More Than a Decade of
Friendship, Honor, and Sacrifice
Our story began in 2014 when West Point classmates united to honor their fallen comrades and all the brave men and women who have given their lives in service to our nation. Together, they founded The Folded Flag Foundation.
“Memorial Day is a special day set aside for us to remember and honor those who gave their lives defending our country. The children and spouses of these fallen heroes live with this sacrifice and memory every day,” said Bill Foley, Founder of The Folded Flag Foundation. “From the beginning, the mission of this organization has been to honor the legacy of our nation’s heroes by supporting their families. We are deeply grateful for the generosity of our donors whose donations honor the legacy of these mothers, fathers, husbands and wives who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.”
For more than 10 years, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to honoring the legacy of our nation’s heroes and supporting their families. As we continue this mission, we invite you to stand with us in providing scholarships, financial assistance, and vital support services to the loved ones of fallen service members.
